A physiological horror game based on the famous horror franchise. You play as a lone character, with a dog, who attempts to join a search party looking for a missing child. The dog is a huge help and crucial to the gameplay as it helps you locate essential items. At the beginning of the game you are notified that how you treat the dog will have an impact but it didn't seem to make any difference.
The gameplay is basically roaming around the woods looking for items, including video tapes for a camcorder which when watching allows you to freeze time in a way. For example, if a tree is falling in the video you watch, you can pause it before the tree falls so that it isn't blocking your path. Until the end that is. The final portion of the game is like P.T.. It's often creepy but rarely frightening with jump scares but this is when the spine tingling atmosphere intensifies. It definitely isn't as startling as it could be. There are enemies that at the beginning of the game you can shine a light on to make them disappear and at the end of the game the opposite applies, having to get around them without looking at them, however, overall the enemies are sparse.
An enjoyable short creepy adventure. It isn't overly unique or challenging but worth playing if you enjoy the genre.
